Find a journal article published within the past ten years that demonstrates a research study application (i.e., a study that collects and analyzes data, provides results, etc.) of an operant procedure applied to a population other than children or animals.

Note: Use key words specific to your topic of interest (e.g., “autism,” “brain injury, “dementia,” “substance abuse,” “safety skills,” “sports,” etc.), or your population or setting of interest (e.g., “adults,” “athletes,” “college,” “workplace,” etc.) in conjunction with terms pertinent to operant techniques and procedures (e.g., “behavioral treatment,” “contingency management,” “reinforcement,” “shaping,” etc.).

Example: Entering keywords together such as “diabetes” and “behavior management” led to this interesting Raiff, Jarvis, and Dallery (2016) research study that incorporated the use of a reinforcement procedure: Text-message Reminders Plus Incentives Increase Adherence to Antidiabetic in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes.

After selecting and reading an appropriate scholarly article, review Chapter 2 again and consider some of the possible strengths and limitations of the research study in the article of your choice. Some possible points to consider are the appropriateness of the research design and data collection method for the topic, or the population, or the setting. Think about how future studies could improve upon the research.

Consider the usefulness of the application of the operant concept(s) that you researched and how it could be applied to other areas. For example, if the operant application you examined was applied to increase the effectiveness of college students’ study skills in psychology, consider how this procedure could be adapted to benefit college students in another academic subject, or in an employment setting.
